Preposition Poem At the Junkyard
On one sultry August day
In a clearing in the woods
Within a long delay
for salvaged auto goods
Amid decaying vans, under glaring sun
High above one ant, homebound, on the run...
Along a miniature trail
of rugged hill and dale
Between pebbles; past sprigs
Over shard; alongside twigs
For seconds brief, beneath a leaf
Around a rock, willy nilly
Root outcrop, dilly dally;
Up, the maple, fast
With head-on haul, in grasp
In and out of bark
Inside crevice, dark
Astride the edge, at last
Across a lichen patch
Behind broad leaves of dark green hue
To my chagrin, beyond my view;
Out from under the shade
Into the open glade
Within the reflective collage
of glinting metals and shards
Beneath the tranquil sky — recharged!
